Dressing for Fieldwork Success IMAGINE YOU ARE THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL…

REMEMBER: This is 10-week job interview

What you wear to class on campus Vs. What you wear to fieldwork

Read the dress code in the code of conduct for your district

Extremes we have seen…

JEANS: NOT IN FW3—you are working with older students, expectations for what you wear changes from Pre-K, K placements ONLY IF NO ONE KNOWS THEY “JEANS”!!

Let’s play….. Guess what happened to the fieldwork candidate that made us add this slide to orientation

LEGGINGS: BEWARE… IF your CT suggests it is acceptable, make sure they are “work” leggings: -are they opaque?? -wear a top that provides coverage

NECKLINE Use a mirror watch yourself as you move around into positions you will be in to help students and teach

Tight Fit Go through a full range of motion like you will during instruction, helping students at their desks, during recess….

Skirt – Check Length & Transparency
